(File Photo)As N-B Power deals with the delays and cost overruns of the Point Lepreau reactor upgrade -- the utility is looking at another major project.

Energy Minister Jack Keir says financing the upgrade of the Mactaquac Dam above Fredericton is a significant challenge, but he says time is on our side because the work isn't scheduled to be required for another 25-years.

The estimated cost of repairs was one of the major stumbling blocks which led to the collapse of the proposed sale of most of N-B Power's assets to Hydro Quebec.

Mayor Bill Bishop says council conducted a preliminary survey and the vast majority of people were in favor of the program.

He says the program has worked well in other municipalities.

Coucil has contacted the Fundy Region Solid Waste Commission to find out about cost, what sort of items could be picked up and whether they would help with a recycling education program for the public.
